The Comenius Regio Wiki

What is a Wiki?

A wiki: • is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any

number of interlinked web pages via a web browser.• invites all users to edit any page or to create new pages within

the wiki Web site. • promotes meaningful topic associations between different pages

by making page link creation almost intuitively easy and showing whether an intended target page exists or not.

• is not a carefully crafted site for casual visitors. Instead, it seeks to involve the visitor in an ongoing process of creation and collaboration that constantly changes the Web site landscape.

• Supports the work of ‘communities’.

Security, Trust and Control

Wikis:• are generally designed with the philosophy of

making it easy to correct mistakes, rather than making it difficult to make them.

• are open for others to see but others cannot make changes unless invited.

• can be easily monitored to follow and rectify changes should that be required.
